A family has been living in a circle for 40 years

A British family has been living in Wales in the midst of a roundabout for more than four decades, after this family refused to leave the land they owned after it came within a road plan, which eventually prompted the municipality to build the ring road around their house.

In 1960, when David John and Rrian Hoatson moved to their property, the area was ordinary rural, until the authorities came and informed them that they had to move to a new place due to changes in the roads, but the Hootsons refused to move, so the roundabout was built around their house in the end, and the family has lived there since. .

 "I've lived in the roundabout for over 40 years so that's pretty much all I know," Cloyd Hoatson told NorthWalesLive. But life on the roundabout can get hectic sometimes.

Cloyd says that most people who hear that he and his family live in a roundabout usually have two questions - how does he get to his house, which is easy to tell by looking at the driveway from the road, and is life noisy there?

Obviously, one of the biggest challenges of living in a roundabout is delivering packages.

Since the family shares the same zip code as the surrounding homes, it usually takes a while for the delivery drivers to realize that they are in the middle of the roundabout.

"Usually when we give instructions (to the parcel workers) we end up saying, 'No, no, we're not at the roundabout - we're in it, and it always looks a little fishy until they get here,'" Cloyd explained.
